A member asked:
Is it possible to be infected by two viruses at once?.

Absolutely: As an example, although not the only one, you can have HIV disease with hepatitis c, cmv, herpes simplex, and others, all at the same time. Very common to have more than one viral infection simultaneously.

Yes: In fact, it is common. There are thousand of known viruses and probably many times that many that await discovery. I'll bet you have more questions; the healthtap team is ready to help.
